Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-(2-nitrobenzylamino)piperidine-1-carboxylate (13.2 g, 43.2 mmol) in THF (400 ml) was added a solution of CDI (7.7 g, 47.5 mmol) in 1:1 DCM: THF (100 ml) dropwise over 1 hour followed by stirring the reaction mixture for a further 16 hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated to give an oil that, when treated with EtOAc, precipitated the desired product. The precipitate was washed with cold EtOAc and dried to give a yellow solid (3.5 g). LC/MS (10% to 99%): M/Z (M+H)+ (obs)=332; tR=3.01.
